SSL/TLS for Mortals
summary
Explains why SSL is obsolete, recommends TLS 1.2 or 1.3, and shows packet-sniffer demos that reveal plaintext vs encrypted HTTP. Covers RSA basics with prime factors P and Q and warns current safety relies on 2048-bit RSA hardness. Walks through certificate purpose, CA trust (about 160 roots in platforms) and the Diginotar compromise. Gives practical debugging commands like curl -v -k and openssl s_client and tools: SSLyze, keytool and Portecle.
